Mac Jones News
Wednesday, May 27, 5:12 AM
Quarterback Mac Jones and the San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a revised contract for 2026, adding a $300,000 roster bonus that will allow him to earn up to $5.8 million with incentives before reaching free agency in 2027. Following a 2024 season in Jacksonville in which he stepped in for an injured Trevor Lawrence and maintained fantasy relevance not just for himself but also for the team's pass catchers, he did the same for San Francisco in 2025. With 49ers starter Brock Purdy impacted by a significant turf toe injury, Jones started eight games, finishing as the QB15 or better in five of them while keeping some of San Francisco's fantasy juggernauts afloat. He returns to the 49ers on the reworked final year of the two-year pact he signed in 2025, and at Rotoballer's QB45, Jones remains one of the most capable backups in the league, and a player who should be rostered in every superflex dynasty league.

Tyler Shough News
Sunday, May 31, 11:45 AM
A second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough took over as his team's QB1 in Week 9 of his rookie season. After some early struggles, Shough finished strong and closed the year with 2,384 yards, 10 touchdowns, and six interceptions across 11 games (nine starts). He also surprised many with his contributions on the ground, rushing for 186 yards and three scores on 45 attempts. There's reason for optimism heading into Shough's second year, particularly after the Saints boosted his supporting cast over the offseason by drafting wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstrings) in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft and signing running back Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency. At the same time, Shough is already entering his age-27 season after spending seven years in college. While his rookie season warrants praise, it wasn't dominant enough for him to definitely remain the clear quarterback of the future in New Orleans if he experiences some early struggles in 2026. If dynasty managers can get a massive return for Shough, they may want to consider selling him at what could be the highest point in his value.
